DMX posted a $500,000 bail following his indictment on tax evasion charges. And the first thing he does is Facetime his homie Swizz Beatz. Later, he hit the stage at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival where he offered up an inspirational word. Get it all inside…

A few days ago, DMX was indicted on 14 counts of tax evasion and surrendered himself to authorities. The feds found out that X was hiding his income to avoid having to cough up $1.7 million in back taxes from 2002 to 2005.

On Friday, X pled not guilty to all 14 counts and was released from jail on a $500,000 bond. The judge hit X with travel restrictions that require him to stay in New York. He also has to comply to strict drug testing and he can not have any firearms in his possession while out on bail.

If he’s found guilty on the 14 counts, he could face up to 44 years in prison.

After the hearing, X hopped on Facetime to chop it up with his Ruff Ryderz homie Swizz Beatz.

“In and out now back to the Music creative Zone ! Brother's 4 Life!! RR 4 Life !! Love you King!!! @dmx,” Swizz captioned on Instagram.
